[QUOTE="Swampgoat, post: 589150, member: 42876"] I cannot thank you all enough. In addition to answering my basic question, you added thoughts and comments that gave me new insights. I very much like the way the different answers are given in a balanced manner. I'm very pleased to have chosen this forum. Now that I know to look for AF-S type lenses, I can compare prices and features. My budget is in the $200 range. Based on some of the answers, I feel less uneasy about exploring refurbished lenses or non-Nikon lenses. I was particularly encouraged to learn that I was not alone in being baffled by the many cryptic lens names, AF this and AF that and so on. Actually, some of it is begging to sink in. So, once again, thanks for your many and informative answers! And thanks also for the nice welcome!:) [/QUOTE]
